So I haven't had time to pay any attention to olympics with work, and school. So I heard something on the radio about how our gymnast winner, some girl, like embarrassed America or something? About how bad something she did was in her routine, idk. What happened?

The one American gymnast fell off the beam and on the floor during the team competition losing us a potential gold.

Yes. The captain of the USA team did this during the team competition. Also during the floor routines all three of the girls stepped out of the line losing points.
I'm not sure how this is embarrassing? It sucks we lost the gold to China, but we still got the silver and they still did a kick ass job. I'd like to see whoever said that get up on a 4inch balance beam and try to do flips in front of thousands of people plus the millions watching at home.
